## Article

I was looking for a challenging and fun LoRa project and stumbled upon the W5100S-EVB-Pico by WizNet which adds Ethernet to the already powerful Raspberry Pi Pico. The advantage of Lora over other communication systems is that it uses less power and can send data over huge distances. With this added feature, I can send data from a remote location directly to my station at home. This station could upload the data to a webserver or even AWS cloud over Ethernet. Another fun way of using this is home automation, a wireless weather station in your backyard, or an underground communication system.
When you combine the many uses of a LoRa module with the ability to access the WorldWideWeb, the practical applications seem unlimited.

So I decided to make this small but useful project.
